Haha you can keep it Perry, they are calling for the next 3 days of rain down here, guess that will give me time to get the lawnmower all set for this coming season. In other news though got the old F350 fired up yesterday! I would say purring like a kitten, but with only the exhaust manifolds on it makes a really strong bark. Had a bit of oil down the cylinders to add a bit of lubrication for the start up and I think that smoked out any bugs and even myself out of the shed yesterday.

Just a nice short drive for you from Orillia Jon. And you fellas in the northern part of Ontario, hope you get to keep enjoying the warmer weather

 

What old 350 Ja, I dont remember

 

The old mans 55 F350 that was seized up


Old blue on the back there is now running after 50 years of sitting idle

 

Ah yes I forgot about that guy, well done man ......
I hope your Dad gets to drive it

 

Have to sort out a few more things before we chance a drive around the yard, planning the rewiring for it this fall depending on how much time I have.

 

Hey guys. Been a while, hope everyone is well. That is one cool looking '55. That has been my favourite body style as long as I can remember. I just started a little write up on my new truck, going to try to keep up with it as I go. For anyway who is interested in wandering over to the 6.0 section, here it is https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post17084580

 

Hey Vansickle, just checked out your truck. Looks good, even old red looks awesome! You going to move the box over to the new one?

 

hey thanks man. She was a good old truck. Just time for something a little bigger and newer. I think i'm going to sell the box with the red truck. I'll get something new for the new truck. I wasn't a big fan of the cross open style of that box.

 

Also just posted the video of the start up. If you are interested
